研究目的
To propose a materials-informatics-assisted high-yield synthesis of nanosheets through exfoliation of layered materials, aiming to improve yield and reduce reliance on experience and intuition.
研究成果
The materials-informatics approach, combining experimental screening and sparse modeling, successfully predicts high-yield exfoliation conditions for nanosheets, achieving yields up to 50% with minimal experiments. The HSP distance is identified as a key descriptor. This method reduces reliance on experience and intuition, and can be extended to other nanomaterials for efficient synthesis and structure control.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific model compound (layered titanate) and a limited set of guests and media. The prediction model may require calibration for other systems. The initial screening thresholds (e.g., yield >2%, particle size 0.1-1 μm) might not be universally applicable. Overfitting can occur if too many variables are considered.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a combination of experimental screening and data-driven prediction methods. Layered composites with intercalated organic guests are exfoliated in various dispersion media. Sparse modeling is applied to extract important factors for predicting yield.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Precursor layered titanate composites with eight different interlayer guests (e.g., tetradecylamine, benzylamines) are exfoliated in 13 dispersion media, totaling 104 combinations. Data include experimental yields, particle-size distributions from DLS, and physicochemical properties from literature and calculations.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes dynamic light scattering (DLS) for particle-size measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and commercial software for calculations (e.g., HSP distance calculation). Materials include layered titanate, organic guests, and various solvents.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Exfoliation is performed by stirring layered composites in dispersion media at 60°C for 5 days. The dispersion is filtered to remove unexfoliated material, and supernatant is analyzed by DLS. Nanosheets are collected by filtration for yield measurement. Microscopy (AFM, TEM) is used for validation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Sparse modeling techniques (MCP and ES-LiR) are used to analyze correlations between yield and 35 explanatory variables. Cross-validation error (CVE) is minimized to optimize the model. Prediction accuracy is validated with new combinations.
